Welcome to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Web page for the water resources of West Virginia; this is your direct link to all kinds of water-resource information. Here you'll find information on West Virginia's rivers and streams. You'll also find information about groundwater, water quality, and many other topics. The USGS operates the most extensive satellite network of stream-gaging stations in the state, many of which form the backbone of flood-warning systems.

The West Virginia Rivers Coalition (WVRC) was founded by paddlers and whitewater enthusiasts who care deeply about restoring and caring for the Mountain State's renowned free-flowing waters and scenic beauty. Today, the WVRC is the statewide voice for water-based recreation and clean, drinkable, swimmable, and fishable rivers and streams--from the headwaters to wherever water flows in West Virginia. We're also the West Virginia state affiliate of the National Wildlife Federation. Our mission is to conserve and restore West Virginia's exceptional rivers and streams. Charleston, West Virginia
